I can't get into a twist about Beyonce lip-syncing at the inaugural because it's not a big shock. She is just another made-up, oversaturated singer who uses videos and studio tricks to hide her lack of vocal talent.

rnld:PawisBetlog: trey101: woman is about as deep as a puddle.... "who run the world?"

Brutal.

We need to bring back songs like do wah diddy or da do do do, da dah dah dah dah.

That song is actually surprisingly deep:

Poets, priests and politiciansHave words to thank for their positionsWords that scream for their submissionAnd no one's jamming their transmission'Cos when their eloquence escapes youTheir logic ties you up and rapes you

// compared to "who run the world? girls" - not much subtlety in that, is there?

Soup4Bonnie:Mikey1969: It's standard for everyone in live situations like this, period. It's not a "pampered artist" thing, its a business thing. In something this big, a screwup is a LOT of money and embarrassment. Hell, they even lip sync on SNL, and that's nowhere the size of a Presidential Inauguration.

Pretend singing. Serious business.

Still real singing. They record it live right before(At the event location), they aren't just whipping out her CD and laying it out. Hell, it explains why even good bands usually sound like shiat on SNL. That place has the worst acoustics ever. I'm pretty sure these bands would sound better playing in my utility closet, next to the water heaters and the boiler(Possibly a dead mouse or two also).
